The Emmy Noether Research Group on Probabilistic Numerics, hosted by the Department of Empirical Inference at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen, Germany, has several open, fully funded positions for PhD students, starting from April 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter.


We develop probabilistic interpretations of numerical tasks and associated methods, particularly in linear algebra, optimization, and the solution of differential equations. Numerical methods infer latent quantities from tractable ones, hence they can be interpreted as learning machines. Doing so opens a new perspective on classic algorithms, and leads to new algorithms that share information between related or chained computations, can be tailored to their task, and shed new light on big old questions. 


Our group has and keeps a machine learning background (we co-authored 3 NIPS papers last year). The MPI IS is a leading institution in machine learning, computer vision and robotics, offering rich social and technological infrastructure for PhD students. Tübingen is a quite international college town in the heart of Europe, the working language at the institute is English.

* DETAILED SUBJECT DESCRIPTION AND REFERENCES


Complex event processing for linked data [1,2] is fundamental to dynamic data management, where linked data is produced dynamically, exchanged over streams, stored in large scale distributed environments, queried, updated, and transformed [12]. Even though streams of complex events appear most naturally in distributed applications with sensors producing continuous data, or social networks in which all kind of structured data is exchanged, stream processing has not been introduced into NoSQL databases, whose purpose is to serve for managing  distributed linked data. In particular, we are interested in IBM's NoSQL database JAQL [3], which like all others is based on map/reduce style distributed programming with path queries for linked data [4].


In this thesis, we propose to develop stream processing algorithms that can be applied for complex event processing for linked data and integrated into NoSQL databases. The first task is to develop algorithms for answering path queries on data graphs. We hope that we can rely on existing streaming algorithms for path queries that were developed for data trees in the context of XML [8,9,10,11] also within the Links project [5,6]. The new questions are the following:
- Under which conditions can queries on data graphs be reduced to queries of spanning tree of the graph.
- How does the choice of the spanning tree influence the queries that can be expressed for the data
graph, and how does the complexity of the algorithms for query answering depend on it.
- How can one answer SPARQL queries on RDF graphs including conjunctive path queries with data
joins and aggregation?
- How can all this be done in practice by extending Links' QuiX-Toolsuite for answering path queries on XML data trees.


The second task is to lift streaming algorithms for answering path queries into map-reduce style distributed programming language based on path queries for linked data. The idea that a function can be mapped to linked data on many processors, return a linked data stream on any processor, and reduce the streams to a single result stream in real time. Rather than dealing with NoSQL databases directly, our objective is to develop a canonical purely functional programming with path queries and map-reduce distribution as a kind of core language. Motivated by our previous work on X-Fun [6,7], a uniform core language for XML processing with or without streams, we believe that a uniform distributed programming language should exist, that can serve as core language for various NoSQL databases, with or without streaming semantics.
The new questions are as follows:
- find a uniform language for distributed map-reduce style programming, that can serve as core language for NoSQL databases,
- provide a streaming evaluator for this language under the assumption that a algorithms for answering path queries on streams is provided.
- implement the streaming streaming evaluator and apply it prototypically to a fragment of a NoSQL database such as JAQL.
